Why the Thunder just traded Isaiah Joe...

Isaiah Joe, the deadeye who has connected on over 40% of his three point attempts in each of the last four seasons, will provide a much needed deep threat to Detroit. Although they won 60 games and the eastern conference's first seed with regular season dominance, Pistons' need for Joe became apparent in the 2026 NBA Playoffs, when Cade Cunningham faced increased defensive pressure, and the offense fell apart. Now, Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti has granted a much-needed floor spacer to Detroit for the price of two second round picks, news that was broken Friday morning by ESPN's Shams Charnia. Thunder Digest host Gabriel Ebersole covers the trade that just went down, as well as the reasons OKC was actively looking to move off of Isaiah Joe, how trading up in the 2026 NBA Draft to grab Bennett Stirtz was a sure sign of this move, and how Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell benefit from the parting of ways with Isaiah Joe. #okcthunder #isaiahjoe #nbatrade --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
